With sharp insights and a few laughs, we reveal how the sequel's narrative cleverly dances with the decade's cultural heartbeat, connecting dots that only a true fan—or a keen new viewer—could spot.End your ghost-hunting expedition with a debate that has echoed through the ages: Can the sequel's soundtrack possibly outshine Ray Parker Jr.'s iconic anthem? As we weigh the cultural clout and chart-topping triumphs of both tunes, we also consider the underappreciated depths of "Ghostbusters II." We salute Bill Murray's enigmatic approach to life that bleeds into every role, from zany paranormal investigator to the reflective characters he portrays in later films. With spirits high and PKE meters off the charts, we close the trap on an episode that's as much about the phenomenon of Ghostbusters as it is a toast to Murray's indelible mark on the silver screen.Thanks for listening; If you feel like supporting us, this is where you do that!BuyMeACoffee Check out or other content/socials here.

William Shakespeare, King Lear, Act Four, Scene Five.  Lear has lost his kingdom, his family, his security and his sanity.  When he encounters his old friend the Earl of Gloucester, who has been savagely blinded, we witness one of the strangest and yet richest conversations in all of literature.  Choked with both rage and guilt, Lear intercuts fantasies of revenge with flashes of moral clarity, and fumbles toward a profound articulation of what it means to suffer.We love hearing from all of you.

People are always telling you to find work-life balance. It's easy to say, but why is it so hard to do? In this episode, we explore the struggle that every grad student experiences: trying to find the right balance between spending time on academics and living the rest of their life. Several grad students, past and present, share their stories. They talk about the guilt of saying no, the anxiety of proving they belong and the mistakes they made along the way. They point to a sobering, but perhaps reassuring, conclusion: finding the perfect balance – and staying there, in the Goldilocks Zone – may be an impossible dream.Music credits: Licensed from soundstripe.com: "Shaken and Stirred" by Dreamland (theme song); “Hypnotized” by Cast of Characters; “Ticking” by Alternate Endings; “Exploring the Unknown” by Adam Saban; “Caffeinated Marimba” by JCar; “Old Moon” by Lincoln Davis; “Which Witch” by Dresden the Flamingo; “Glasgow” by Falls; “Pensive” by Shimmer; “As Fate Would Have It” by Wicked Cinema; “Particles” by Chelsea McGough.

Jahrhunderts: Sir Richard Fordyke kehrt nach der Hochzeit mit seiner zweiten Frau auf den Landsitz seiner Familie zurück, wo ihm die Ablehnung der restlichen Bevölkerung entgegenschlägt. Ein Mädchen ist ermordet worden und die letzten Worte des Opfers wiesen auf den Adeligen.

Unsere Show #48 kommt schneller zu Euch als eine taiwanesische Reederei durch den Suezkanal. Nach einer flotten Einleitung mit ganz wichtigen Neuigkeiten für die Audiokommentar-Branche, schlagen wir gleich hart auf die Pauken. Benedikt bringt EX-DRUMMER ins Gespräch und teilt seine Fassungslosigkeit mit Euch. Julia folgt mit ihrer Besprechung zu DER KILLER IN MIR und räumt den Platz am Mikrofon dann für Max mit dem Wicked-Cinema-Beitrag: THE BLACK TORMENT. Dann müssten Benedikt und Leo die Beherrschung wieder erlangen um den deutschen Genrefilm BIIKENBRENNEN zu beleuchten, denn der Titel des Films bereitete ihnen zuvor Schwierigkeiten pubertären Ausmaßes. Stefan steuert sein nächstes Interview bei, das er mit Wieland Schwanebeck zu dessen RECLAM-Erscheinung geführt hat. Die 100Seiten JAMES-BOND-Lektüre wird in einem halbstündigen informativen Gespräch betrachtet. Der Tiefpunkt der Sendung entscheidet Megan Fox für sich, denn Benedikt findet nur ehrliche Worte zu ROGUE HUNTER. Mit einem der vergleichsweise besten Dramen der letzten Jahre - THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING, MISSOURI - beschäftigen sich zum Ende Julia und Lisa im Duett. Ein voller Container Filminfotainment steuert den Hafen an. Viel Vergnügen.

Während ihre Lieben sich noch im ehemaligen Zuhause um die letzten Angelegenheiten kümmern, richtet sie schon einmal das neue Haus ein. Dabei erinnert die Umgebung sie ständig an ihre Jugend. Doch etwas Unheimliches ist im Gange. Während Mary mit dem Älterwerden hadert und einen lustvollen Blick auf den Nachbarssohn wirft, lauert im Dunkel ein tödliches Grauen. Ein Eisverkäufer mit einer fanatischen Liebe für Tugend und Moral beginnt unbemerkt damit, all die Sünder, die er findet, brutal zu ermorden …

Story: Kate Barker liebt ihre vier Söhne mehr als alles andere auf der Welt.

Story: John Harrington ist der Chef eines wohlhabenden Modehauses, der einen unkontrollierbaren Blutdurst nach Frauen in Brautschleiern in sich hat. Nur durch grausame Serienmorde kann er tiefer in sein Unterbewusstsein tauchen und die Ursprünge seiner Obsession ans Licht bringen, die seinen ganz speziellen, mörderischen Fetisch hervorgebracht haben.

Es ist wieder an der Zeit den B-Seiten zu lauschen. In unserer sympathischen Parallelsendung präsentieren wir euch neben dem Gefängnis-Ausbruchs-Thriller SEMPER FI, drei weiter Wicked-Vision-Media-Produkte. Dabei begeben wir uns wieder auf die Rawside und blicken auf LAST GIRL STANDING und ICE CREAM TRUCK. Zum Schluss besprechen Benedikt und Stefan die 2. Auswertung der BLACK CINEMA COLLECTION mit dem Titel ZEHN STUNDEN ZEIT FÜR VIRGIL TIPPS. Wir decken für uns einiges auf und müssen uns dabei erneut entschuldigen, denn bei dieser wichtigen Aufnahme spielte die Technik nach den Regeln des Satans. Wir sind gut zu verstehen doch der Sound ist zu Lo-Fi für Deep-Red-Radio-Verhältnisse. Wir rufen um Verzeihung an und garantieren die inhaltlichen Stärken.

Story: Vor über 400 Jahren lebte in Schottland eine so primitive wie brutale Familie kannibalischer Serienkiller, die angeführt wurde von ihrem inzestuösen Vater Sawney Bean. Während ihrer Terror-Herrschaft ermordeten die Beans über 1000 Menschen. Ihre Opfer wurden geschlachtet, ihre Körperteile verspeist. Der Klan bestand aus acht Söhnen, sechs Töchtern, achtzehn Enkeln und vierzehn Enkelinnen, die alle durch Inzucht gezeugt wurden. Die mörderische Sippschaft wurde schließlich gejagt und auf grausamste Weise exekutiert. Doch jemand hat überlebt … . Viele Generationen später hat sich Familie Bean wieder vermehrt und im heutigen Schottland beginnt die brutale Mordserie von Neuem. Junge Frauen verschwinden auf mysteriöse Weise. Detective Bill Munro wird mit der Leitung der Ermittlungen beauftragt. Als die verstümmelten Überreste der entführten Mädchen auf einem bizarren Opfer-Altar in der schottischen Wildnis auftauchen, wird den Suchenden klar, dass wahnsinnige kannibalische Serienkiller ihr Unwesen treiben.
